I finished something!

I've been working and crafting away, but with not much to show, so this project from yesterday was a welcome change!

About the same time as I upcycled the 'let's fly' top for the Kinderboy, I bought the Schoolboy a plain navy top from Target. Comfy, but a little boring was the declaration. "I want you to decorate it for me before I wear it". "No problems" say I, putting it in the 'fix it' drawer while I work out what an appropriate motif might be. "What's this?" say I several months later when rummaging through the drawer for something else. Oops. Luckily he loves it, and the delay's already forgiven.

My apologies for the headless photo - its the only one that's in focus, but has him scowling because I made him stop for photos before letting him watch ABC kids!

In the end the inspiration came from a Lego owl he made yesterday morning. Here's a close-up - easy peasy use of a couple of spare bits of Japanese print quilting fabrics.

Welcome!

I'm Jackie, and I love the creative process. I like to tackle new craft/construction projects for the challenge of working out the 'how' as much as actually sitting down and doing it (so I always have at least one project on my mind). I particularly like making something out of 'nothing' just for the thrill of seeing something apparently useless/surplus having a new lease on life.

I hope to give you some examples and instructions in this blog - things I'm working on/like the look of/plan to get to someday. Do with it what you will, but if it gives you some inspiration then great!
